** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRebirth'', the mayor of Under Junon informs Avalanche, not very seriously, that several members of their group have large bounties on their heads, and that she could be a very wealthy woman if she turned them in. Barret's response is to, just as non-seriously, state that "you can't take it with you" and idly examine his gun.



* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', when [[spoiler:Thales]] reminds the Flame Emperor that his people gave them power, and that they will be his people's salvation, the Flame Emperor responds with 'There will be no salvation for you and your people'. [[spoiler:Since the Flame Emperor is Edelgard, and she [[TeethClenchedTeamwork hates working with Thales and his organization]], in the Crimson Flower route, once Edelgard has conquered Fódlan, Hubert, her [[TheDragon second in command]], Jeritza, [[TheDreaded the Death Knight]], Byleth, [[SupportingProtagonist her teacher]], along with some other members of the Black Eagle Strike Force [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness wipe out Thales and his organization offscreen]].]]

* In ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'', after gaining Atreus's favor and capturing him at Asgard with Heimdall watching over him, Odin taunts him about it, saying how Atreus will help him avoid Ragnarok. Kratos's response?
-->'''Odin:''' Do they not have metaphor in your homeland? Or rather, did they? I'm sorry, that's not fair. I know you're not the god you once were. And now is your chance to prove it.\\

* In ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'', after ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'':
** Atreus takes up Odin's invitation to Asgard, where he is less than welcomed by [[{{jerkass}} Heimdall]]. He spends a good few minutes belittling and beating up Atreus until [[TheBigGuy Thor]] arrives to remind him that Atreus ''is'' Odin's guest whether Heimdall likes it or not. Heimdall decides to ignore him and continue picking on Atreus, only for Thor to make it clear that he won't get the chance.
--->'''Thor:''' Take one more step, you're not gonna like how this ends.\\
'''Heimdall:''' Really? And how do you intend to stop me?\\
'''Thor:''' ''(looms closer)'' [[TranquilFury Look into my eyes]]. ''[[CombatClairvoyance You tell me]].''\\
''(glances at the arrow Heimdall is holding)''\\
'''Heimdall:''' ''(drops said arrow in [[AssShove disgust]])'' [[YouMonster You are a sick man]].

* The start of the final level of ''VideoGame/MaxPayne2'' has Max and the BigBad [[[[BigBadFriend Friend]] Vladimir Lem]] both fall through to the basement of the manor they're in from an explosion. Only the BigBad has a working firearm, but it was dropped during the fall and he can't find it to finish off the dazed Max, so he just kicks Max in the side and staggers off to get weapons. It turns out the gun was under Max's body out of his sight, which Max finds after he leaves, and picks it up for himself.

* In ''VideoGame/KingOfTheCastle'', the Subterfuge scheme, which is available to multiple regions, revolves around sabotaging the reputations of the King's inner circle so that they are forced to step down in favour of nobles from the region. If they fail to meet their final objective, the mastermind of the scheme wakes up one night to find the Spymaster (a prominent member of said inner circle) in their bedchamber, smiling and holding a knife to their throat, "kindly" asking them to knock it off.

{{Implied Death Threat}}s in VideoGames.

* AWACS Bandog’s EstablishingCharacterMoment in ''VideoGame/AceCombat7SkiesUnknown'' has him warning the Spare Squadron; ‘This is the penal unit. I decide when you die.’ [[spoiler:Depending on who you ask he could very well had made good on that threat in the mission ‘Faceless Soldier’, when Full Band got tagged as an enemy after the Spare Squadron was ambushed by AI controlled aircraft using spoofed Osean [=IFFs=].]]
* In ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreed'', During the multiplayer, when Vidic trains the new initiates:
-->'''Warren Vidic''': Succeed, and you will learn the secrets of our order. Fail, and a lot more than your contracts will be terminated.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8cELTdtw6U Build That Wall]] from ''VideoGame/{{Bastion}}''. [[LyricalDissonance It sounds slow and mournful, but the lyrics]] are actually a death threat to an entire civilisation.
-->"I dig my hole, you build a wall. One day that wall is going to fall...Go build that wall until it's done, but now you've got nowhere to run. So build that wall and build it strong 'cause we'll be there before too long."
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', there was a blacksmith in Midgar. If you talked to him, he would say, "Hey, wait a minute, you. You can't leave without buyin' something. Might not be good for your health, if ya know what I'm saying."
** Of course, considering [[AnAdventurerIsYou you're an adventurer]] InAWorld where EverythingIsTryingToKillYou, he really ''could'' have been looking out for your best interests: you need something to defend yourself with!
* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTacticsAdvance'', Llednar delivers one after Cid [[spoiler:nullifies the law that makes him invincible]].
-->'''Llednar:''' ...This reeks of foul play. If you weren't a judge... ''(summons allies and begins to fight)''
* In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', when [[spoiler:Thales]] reminds the Flame Emperor that his people gave them power, and that they will be his people’s salvation, the Flame Emperor responds with ‘There will be no salvation for you and your people’. [[spoiler:Since the Flame Emperor is Edelgard, and she [[TeethClenchedTeamwork hates working with Thales and his organization]], in the Crimson Flower route, once Edelgard has conquered Fódlan, Hubert, her [[TheDragon second in command]], Jeritza, [[TheDreaded the Death Knight]], Byleth, [[SupportingProtagonist her teacher]], along with some other members of the Black Eagle Strike Force [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness wipe out Thales and his organization offscreen]].]]
* In ''VideoGame/HotlineMiami'', after the Biker has turned against the orders he receives from his answering machine, another message is sent to him, announcing that the tombstone he commanded will be delivered some day in the week.
* In ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'', several champion taunts are examples of this trope:
-->'''Orianna''': I know what makes them tick. I know how to make the ticking STOP.\\
'''Hecarim:''' Your life is a burden. I bring you freedom!
* In ''VideoGame/LifeIsStrange'', a [[spoiler:nightmare sequence]] features Max receiving a text message from a PosthumousCharacter:
-->"Hey Max, [[spoiler:Rachel Amber]] here. Just wanted to introduce myself. I'll be seeing you soon. Real soon."
* In ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'', one of the pre-game interactions between Junkrat and Reaper has Reaper commenting on Junkrat's offer. Given how Junkrat can be kind of annoying, plus Reaper's beef with Soldier 76 and other members of Overwatch, his statement to Junkrat couples with some DoubleMeaning.
-->'''Junkrat:''' You look like a guy who needs something blown up.\\
'''Reaper:''' A candidate just came to mind.
* ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'': [[TheFamilyForTheWholeFamily Don Pianta]] says that if Mario fails to keep his promise, his "luck may turn terrible".
* In ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'', when you meet up with [=GLaDOS=] again, she says: "Look, we both said a lot of things that ''you're'' going to regret." She then continues along this line in later chambers, with her "real surprise, with ''tragic consequences''," her "solution to both our problems [...] that honestly works out great for ''one of'' both of us" and her announcement that she has learned to discard things that "are just [[YouAreFat taking up space]]". And just when it seems that she couldn't lay it on any thicker, in Chapter 8, [[spoiler:Wheatley]] gets a turn, with a triumphant DontExplainTheJoke thrown in:
-->'''[[spoiler:Wheatley]]:''' You [...] are going to love this big surprise. In fact, you're going to love it ''to death''. Love it until you're dead -- until it kills you. I don't know if you're picking up on what I'm saying here...\\
'''[[spoiler:[=GLaDOS=]]]:''' Thanks, we get it.
* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
** One of Eggman's PA announcements in ''VideoGame/SonicColors'' sounds a lot like one of these:
--->''Enjoy every moment in the luxurious grounds as if they might be your last. Especially if you're a meddlesome hedgehog, or his fawning sidekick.''
** ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'': In one of the games MultipleEndings, [[ManipulativeBastard Black Doom]] gives one to Shadow [[spoiler:after the latter makes a beeline for the Chaos Emerald in the G.U.N. Fortress, ignoring Black Doom's orders to destroy the computers producing G.U.N. robots]]. Played with in that he immediately sends [[IllKillYou a more direct threat]] afterwards.
--->''Those who commit mutiny against ''me'' will see no mercy... and do'' not ''defy me again!''
* Bwonsamdi, the loa of death in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', is very fond of implying death.
** He tells Ate'na that she looks like a smart woman, but here she is [[DoNotTauntCthulhu interrupting him in his own temple.]]
** When Baine Bloodhoof demands answers from him, Bwonsamdi warns Baine to mind his tone or he'll "be speaking with [his late] father real soon."
** As King Rastakhan keeps demanding power from Bwonsamdi [[spoiler:to fight off the invading Alliance]], Bwonsamdi complains about his disrespect and wonders out loud if his daughter Talanji would make a better ruler.
* In the Mysterious Tapes in ''VideoGame/YandereSimulator'', [[spoiler:the protagonist's mother [[{{Yandere}} Ryoba Aishi]], after [[KarmaHoudini being found not guilty of murder]], tells the journalist who got her tried]] that it would be easy to make his death look like a suicide.
